    I learned the hard way, never click ANY links in email spams you get, it ALWAYS leads to costing you money.

    you will have to tell them. Do it now, explaining what you've said here.

    So long as your total money in your bank isn't under 16k, your UC claim won't close.

    Also, you're not stupid for falling for a romance scammer. We're all vulnerable to scams, and scammers rely on shame to get away with their harm.

    do try to get your money back.

    I recently got diddled by some "Fortune telling" website which said I'd win a LOT of money on the National Lottery and meet the woman of my dreams… I don't even believe in that Fortune telling rubbish.
